[quote=iiranger;136908]Years ago in a magazine and of course I forget which one, a hornet fan claimed that he got much improved accuracy by using RWS cases BECAUSE the rims were uniform, very uniform. Nothing good to say about uniformity of US brass rims.


I have recently become aware of this and am talking to a riflesmith who does this case machining work and has prooved it works. He was doing this work is the 1960s, started on his own BSA 22 Hornet. At the time RWS brass was not readily available and he used Winchester brass. I am wondering if this is a proven technique or one that has perhaps been lost in the mists of time and perhaps now needs re airing. They say nothing much is new in shooting.

In the UK RWS brass is three times the price of Remmy, around one pound a case, so about $1.30
